I drop the ball sometimes too Lady C! Nice save! They look much better today!

Royal Queen Seeds ~ Creamatic - the bud to plant ratio was massive
Do you remember what size pot or got a journal for those babies?
The journal for this grow is slow starting because I want it slightly more informative and organized than my previous journals. But I’m anxious to see other people’s luck with this strain. Beautiful plants there.
@ladycannafan, I’m catching up on your journal right now. Excellent save.

Great job reviving those little ladies Doctor Cannafan.

Great save!
Thanks everybody! I think if I had seen that one day later it would have been all done. Whew!
Last night the larger leaves were all moving upward like they were going into praying. This morning they were back down to normal. It's so weird when plants do that, because I can never nail down what is making them react that way.
No harm done, I would just like to know why.
This is what I found doing a search
Every night, your plant is performing a very important metabolic process called induction of dormancy. Dormancy is an adaptation that allows plants to survive in the environment by conserving their energy resources until environmental conditions are more favorable for growth and reproduction. As the sun sets and darkness descends, many plants will curl up their leaves as part of this process.
The physiological effects of dormancy are quite fascinating: when it begins to be induced in plants, enzymes responsible for respiration decrease and those that promote growth drop off; hormones such as gibberellins become inhibited; finally, cells in various parts of the plant enter a resting phase where they change shape or shrink slightly while also increasing their resistance to physical damage. All these factors together cause leaves to curl up at nightfall – so when you see your plant do this every evening, know that it’s just doing its own thing!
The beauty of dormancy lies not only in what happens on the surface but also on a molecular level! When curled up, photosynthesis decreases meaning respiration rates drastically reduce which ultimately helps conserve energy during low light periods – an ideal way for any species (not just plants) to save energy over long periods of time! By taking advantage of day/night cycling temperatures and photoperiods (the amount of light each day), many species perform better than others without having them resort to further costly weatherproofing procedures like insulating themselves from heat or cold over extended periods. In summary then – the curling up we see our houseplants do every night serves as protection from temperature fluctuations while still allowing them to take in some light during long summer nights - smart indeed!

That's interesting. Thanks!
I do know that plants will learn when to sleep. I've done a couple time lapse videos on this through the years, where they slowly begin a downward droop before lights out time. They pick back up to normal at lights on.
I'll be watching the kids every night before I go to bed to see if there's a pattern with the upward lift of the leaves.
I found my old video camera that does great with closeups, so maybe will have a couple of time lapse vids going as they grow and play.
Your extended power disruption may have triggered them to pray harder as a defensive
